(BAMAKO) An unmarried couple has been stoned to death in the
Kidal region of Mali.

Local residents were invited by Islamists to take part in
the public punishment of this unlucky couple for violating “Islamic law”. As per Sharia law, holes were dug into the
ground and the victims placed inside. The
holes are then back filled leaving the top half of the victim above ground but
unable to escape. You can guess the rest.

The above was about the stoning of an unmarried couple in Mali. Here are a few other snippets of Islamic intolerance in Africa, these past few days:

Around 115 people were killed in ethnic and religiously fuelled violence in southeaster town of Bangassou in the Central African Republic (CAR) over the weekend, The mainly Christian anti-Balaka militia attacked Islamic civilians and a UN office in the town bordering the Democratic Republic of Congo, before being pushed back by UN peacekeepers and airstrikes.
